Need A Healthy Snack?
Written by Lisa on May 19, 2008 – 7:06 pm -
If you are like me, you are always looking for a healthy snack for you and your family. You are also looking for a snack that is easy and not time consuming to make. For my house, Orville Redenbacker popcorn is the answer. Orville Redenbacker’s popcorn is made with 100% whole grains and is a great source of fiber! Many of the varieties have zero trans fats. You can also buy them in 100 calorie packs! When I was doing Weight Watchers a couple of years ago, popcorn was one of those snacks that they highly recommended. I was actually told at one of my meeting to buy the Smart Pop popcorn, and if I wanted a more butter taste then I should use some spray butter (which would count as 0 points for those of you are using Weight Watchers).
What I personally love is that there is a variety for every person or every mood. If I am looking to be healthy, I either eat the smart pop or the 100 calorie packs. If I want to be really naughty, I have the movie theater butter (which is pretty darn close to move theater popcorn though I don’t feel like I am going to keel over with a heart attack while eating it).
I was going to take a picture of us all eating this popcorn (this was the movie theater kind in the picture), but I decided that I didn’t want to share. It was good. That being said, I have a great giveaway for all of you. I am giving away not one but two popcorn bowls (double the chances to win!). In each bowl, there are two bags of microwave popcorn to try and a couple of coupons. Sounds great, right? I like to make it easy to enter, so I’ll give you several ways:
1. Leave a comment on this post. I want to know what is your favorite variety of Orville Redenbacker popcorn. One comment only please and let me know everything you did for your entries in that comment.
2. Blog about this giveaway linking to this page or my home page.
3. Stumble this post. If you don’t know what Stumble Upon is, please read Lori’s post at Blogging Cents. She explains it extremely well.
4. Subscribe to this blog using either my email or RSS feed.
Now, its up to the winners if they want to enjoy the popcorn on their own or if they actually want to share with their families. I will be running this contest till May 30th at 8:00 pm CST and it is only open to those in the US. Good luck!

Written by Lisa on April 10, 2008 – 8:15 am -Aghhhhh!!!! I forgot to do this last week, because I tried to wait for Friday to actually do the meme!!! Therefore, this week I am doing it now, so I don’t forget! If you’d like to participate, head over to Fun, Crafts, and Recipes.
#1. What’s your favorite food smell? Pork chops. The funny thing is that I really don’t like to eat them all that much but I love how they smell when they are cooking.
#2. What’s your favorite kind of apple? Ummm apple pie? I don’t really eat just apples.
#3. What veggies do you like in your salad? Carrots.

1 lb. ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic
1 jar (26 oz) pasta sauce
1 container (16 oz) ricotta cheese
1 1/4 shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Preheat over to 350 degrees F. Coat a 13×9 baking dish with cooking spray.
Prepare the noodles according to the packaging directions. Drain noodles. Rinse with cool water; drain again. Lay noodles flat on wax paper.
